Corning & Company

Corning & Company is an integrated route-to-market platform purpose-built for craft beverage alcohol brands. Operating as a comprehensive operating system for small and emerging spirits producers, the company connects every stage of the value chain — from production and packaging through warehousing, compliance, marketing, sales, and distribution management — under a single platform.

At its core, Corning & Company represents a curated portfolio of premium craft spirit brands and facilitates relationships between those brands and the distributors, retailers, investors, and consumers who support them. Its current brand portfolio spans a wide range of beverage alcohol categories including American whiskey, bourbon, rye whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, tequila, brandy, and ready-to-drink cocktails. Featured brands include Sonoma Distilling Co., Spirit Works Distilling, Old Quaker Distilling Company, Bear Moon Spirit, Bradshaw Bourbon, Pond Fork Whiskey, Old Prentice Whiskey, Marcado 28, Napa Valley Brandy Co., Half Shell Spirits, and Star Trek Spirits, among others.

On the production side, the platform supports grain-to-glass and redistilled product development, offering custom distillation services using copper pot or column stills suited for whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, and more. Barrel storage is available on racks or pallets with options for regular or on-demand sampling, step-down proofing, and rickhouse programs. Co-packing services cover formats ranging from 50 mL to 1.75-liter bottles, including specialty hand packaging, with blending and proofing included at no additional cost for brands storing barrels on-site.

The warehousing and fulfillment offering includes bonded storage of finished goods, distributor invoicing, and management of receivables, payables, and chargebacks. Corning & Company also handles the full scope of beverage alcohol compliance, including product registrations, formula submittals, Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs), and tax forms — allowing brand owners to concentrate on growth rather than regulatory complexity.

Marketing services encompass digital, email, and social media strategy tailored to the unique regulatory environment of the beverage alcohol industry. The sales function focuses on strategic account development and market expansion across targeted geographies. Additionally, the platform offers a customized insurance program for spirit industry participants, providing coverage for fire, theft, transportation damage, and other inventory risks.

Corning & Company serves a diverse stakeholder ecosystem including brand owners and distiller entrepreneurs, distributors seeking premium craft brands, retailers looking for differentiated shelf offerings, investors interested in emerging brands and bulk spirits, and vendors seeking direct access to brand relationships. Its integrated model is designed to give small and emerging craft spirits brands the operational infrastructure and market access typically available only to large, well-capitalized producers.
